Billie I do hope that the repairman has fixed your furnace. And you are right, he does need a cell phone. My father is an electrician and for years we tried to at least get a pager but fought us tooth and nail. Eventually he got one and he still "hides".

Billie, hoping your furnance gets fixed soon. Brrrr I cannot imagine how cold you must be.

I am sooooooo hungry today. Holding myself back from eating between meals but I am just not sure I will make it.

Oh Billie! Well hug Bear and your kitties and hope that your pastor can help somehow either by fixing it himself or knowing someone who can come ASAP! This is NO type of weather for this!

Nooooo, someone left lemon meringue pie outside my office. I am crumbling.

Someone save me...it smells so good

Oh no! Luckily that is one thing I can resist. I hate the meringue. BLAH! The rest sounds good.

My pastor came and brought grandola bars. I eat three! I was starving, so I thought. It is hard to resist once the temtation is there. He also got the furnace running. He still wants someone to check it tho. It has never quit since I turned it up. It must of been cold in here, even tho I had the gas heater on high. I can smell this furnace and I do wish he would come & check it. It just made a terrible noice when I turned it on. I think pastor put oil in some part of it.

Sorry to keep writting abouit it, but it has been a concern all day. I sure will get me another phone number after this. I even called this guy tonight and they don't answer. Where would anybody go at night when it is so cold like this? it's getting nice in here now. I hope it will shut down and not run all night.

did the pastor say anything about what might have been the problem?
if it was just the fan part making the noise? It probably has bearings where it spins so that could be what is making the noise- like when a wheel bearing goes out on a car - makes a horrible noise.
and if he oiled it that could be some of the smell.

Doesn't the furnace have a thermometer showing on the control panel or temp adjusting dial in the house?

sounds like that repair guy is unreliable and probably untrustworthy - I wouldn't give him any business if you can call someone else to come.

Anyone at the church have a handyman connection or name to recommend to you?
